I don't have a problem with male grooming. I know it is necessary and I really appreciate it. I just don't want to see it. I don't want to see it happening and I don't want to see the evidence of it. I just don't like the idea of men worry about their appearance. It's not very manly. I know this is odd and many women wouldn't agree but that's just the way I am. And I think it works both ways, no man wants to know that I regularly have my moustache removed with professional help (so does the fashion designer and several other women I know). No man wants to know that about a woman and I understand that.
I never really think about, this until one day, on one of the rare occasions the child care manager, the rep and myself were all at home at the same time. The child care manager turned to the rep and said 'will you help me shave the hairs on the back of my neck? The ones I can't reach?'
'Err what?' she replied
Ugh I thought.
'Just right down the back of my neck please Rep? I can't do it myself'.
'You want me to shave your back?
'I do not have a hairy back' He stressed getting rather worked up.
The two of us had a great time when he got rather worked up about something silly and took to running with things to wind him up.
And he was very easy to wind up. Very easy. Like the time his friend came to stay and after he went home we took to talking about him all the time, asking how he was, until the child care manager was convinced we had both developed a massive crush on his friend. He got rather jealous and did not like it.
Anyway the childcare manager eventually handed over the electric razor. It was only when he was stood over the bath that the rep admitted she had never used clippers before. But by this time it was too late and she had him pinned.
When the deed was done they walked out the bathroom, she turned to me and mouthed 'he does have a hairy back. Iv shaved it off'
